reason-othello is a full-featured Othello library backed by a blazing fast bitboard.

Key features include:

• The fastest bitboard in the West, written with explicit SIMD to use vector instructions.
• Three level of abstraction trading off speed and convenience: raw bitboard functions, a fast and unchecked Board type for engines, and a safe high-level Game type.
• A C-style FFI for using bitboard functions outside of Rust.

This package was developed as part of the reason engine.

reason-othello is a fast, full-featured Othello library for engines and UIs.

This package implements three levels of abstraction:

• bitboard contains the raw, unchecked operations for working with Othello boards. These are fast, but may result in inconsistent state if their contracts are not manually checked. Bitboard operations are also provided through a C FFI.
• Board implements the core game logic in the same fast, unchecked way as bitboard. This is suitable for use with engines.
• Game is a high-level, safe interface to all of the Othello game logic. It is slower but safer and more complete than Board.
